Abstract
In this volume of The Journal, Shifman et al utilize longitudinal data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) database of primary care health professional shortage areas (HPSA) to characterize the association between living in primary care shortage areas and graft failure or death for pediatric liver transplant recipients.1 They studied a cohort of 5,769 children transplanted between 2005-2015 with 4 years of follow-up (through 2019), the authors found that children in HPSAs had an increased risk of graft failure and death compared with children living in non-HPSAs.
